If that's what Bryant wrote, I would assume that it's a typo.Thank you. So a combination of this evidence and that of Nehemiah 8:1 that Ezra and Nehemiah were contemporaries seems to prove that Ezra was around in the time of Artaxerxes I, not II, in the mid 5th century BCE, not the early 4th century.
Bryant seems to be confused, mentioning "the 20th to the 32nd year of Artaxerxes II, 445 (444) - 433 (432) BCE" when in fact these seem to be dates of Artaxerxes I.
